Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“During 2024 the Group significantly reduced its operating loss to £1.09 million (2023: loss £1.99 million) with a slight increase in revenues and significant increase in gross margins to 46%. The Group has also continued to materially reduce costs without impacting the Group's multiple sales opportunities. These costs are set to fall further in Q2 2025 with a planned reduction in facility costs. This has led to the Group starting in Q1 2025 close to operating break-even that should improve further (see below). On the basis of current financial projections, which have been drawn out to the end of 2026, including a sensitised cash flow analysis (sensitised by considering reduced revenues in key growth markets being the main area of forecast risk), together with available funds and facilities, and a £2.25 million equity fundraise since the year end (see Events since statement of financial position Note 24) the Directors are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, and accordingly, continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Group and Company financial statements.”
